Last month, Instagram <\/a> co-founders CEO Kevin Systrom and CTO Mike Krieger announced<\/a> that they would be leaving Instagram and Facebook. All eyes are now on Instagram to figure out what\u2019s going to happen to the photo and video app. That\u2019s why I\u2019m excited to announce that Instagram Product Director Robby Stein<\/a> is joining us at TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instagram is Facebook\u2019s next big bet. Facebook\u2019s growth has slowed down<\/a>, which puts even more pressure on Instagram. Compared to Facebook, Instagram is still a relatively young platform. More and more people are joining Instagram and stories are boosting engagement.<\/p>\n

Facebook currently<\/a> has 2.23 billion monthly users while Instagram has 1 billion users. Many people have an active account on both platforms. But does Instagram have what it takes to reach Facebook\u2019s scale?<\/p>\n

When it comes to product, Instagram has relentlessly released new features over the past few years. Stories have become a creative playground, stars can share longer videos on IGTV and you can now start group video chats from the app.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s impressive to see that such a big platform keeps releasing radical changes that will affect over a billion users. Instagram has been moving incredibly fast. And it\u2019s been key when it comes to fostering growth.<\/p>\n

Stein will tell us more about Instagram\u2019s product design strategy and what\u2019s coming up. It\u2019s always interesting to hear the perspective of an insider to analyze product decisions and discuss them.<\/p>\n

Before joining Instagram, he was the co-founder and CEO of Stamped, which was acquired by Yahoo back in 2012. Stein started his career at Google. In a short period of time, he managed to work for Google, Facebook and Yahoo, and he also founded his own startup. Quite an impressive resume.<\/p>\n

And if you want to hear what it feels like to work for Instagram at a pivotal moment, you should come to Disrupt Berlin. The conference will take place on November 29-30 and you can buy your ticket right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In addition to fireside chats and panels, like this one, new startups will participate in the Startup Battlefield Europe to win the highly coveted Battlefield cup.<\/p>\n
